As long as the flanges mate up, you're fine. The sliding spline is to allow for various spacing between the engine/tranny assembly and differential. The distance does vary a bit and the sliding splines allow for this. In other applications, it allows for motion of the rear axle differential, or front suspension motion in the case of a front wheel drive car.
If the CV joint is in good shape, go ahead and use it. Place it at either end, ie, you can install the driveshaft backwards. It makes no difference. ----------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication may be confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
